There a skills test, and a written test in WA. Hardest part of the test:Wash hands and give patient call light.....

2018-05-18 23:40:19 UTC  

I did my CNA through a company, but it came highly regarded by my agency.

2018-05-18 23:40:50 UTC  

You have to do a class and also probably do clinicals before you can test. At least, that's how things are done in OR

2018-05-19 00:26:37 UTC  

That’s how I heard of the class that I mentioned, all the local agencies hold it in high regard.

<@&435155893747974155> what kind of burn is this and how should I care for it?

2018-06-05 02:34:02 UTC  

3rd degree

2018-06-05 02:34:18 UTC  

Right now I'm keeping it covered in ointment and gauze

2018-06-05 02:34:20 UTC  

cold water rinse... pat dry with clean towel

2018-06-05 02:34:25 UTC  

ointment and gause

2018-06-05 02:34:43 UTC  

Aloe and lidocaine patches while I work

2018-06-05 10:26:26 UTC  

I thought third degree reaches sub-cutaneous tissue like muscle, tendons, etc

2018-06-05 10:58:00 UTC  

Yeah I don't think it's third degree

2018-06-05 10:58:34 UTC  

Severe first degree bordering on second possibly

2018-06-05 11:15:13 UTC  

But I don't know lol

2018-06-05 11:16:17 UTC  

I got 425 degree glue on it at work and when I peeled the dried glue off it took a layer of skin with it

If it gets any worse or pusses up go see the Dr to get some RX cream

2018-06-05 15:09:33 UTC  

Any Dr will be able to give you a topical cream stronger then some over the counter burn gel

2018-06-05 21:58:01 UTC  

@Louis Loire - NY thanks. I'm going floating this weekend should I just dress it as normal or do I need to wrap it in a waterproof bandage or something?

2018-06-05 22:36:36 UTC  

Or should I even worry about it?

2018-06-09 04:49:05 UTC  

I would put a protective layer over it.

2018-06-19 23:34:03 UTC  

<@&435155893747974155> can any of you fine people read a blood test chart?

2018-06-19 23:34:12 UTC  

Or understand it

2018-06-20 00:08:39 UTC  

@Thomas Morrow it definitely needs to be waterproofed, you don’t want river water on your wound. You are bound to get a bacterial infection or a parasite.

2018-06-20 00:09:02 UTC  

I would do the following

2018-06-20 00:09:16 UTC  

Wrap as normal with your atibiotic ointments etc

2018-06-20 00:09:47 UTC  

And rewear with a water resistant tape or find a slightly tight rubber sleeve

2018-06-20 00:23:25 UTC  

Oh

2018-06-20 00:23:32 UTC  

THat isn't as bad as I had pictures

2018-06-20 00:23:39 UTC  

Almost healed up now. I wear a big band aid over it now

2018-06-20 00:23:57 UTC  

That could be gently wrapped with water resistant tape and gauze and be just fine

2018-06-20 00:24:00 UTC  

Just to keep the product at work from ripping it open

2018-06-20 00:24:14 UTC  

The skin is still thin

2018-06-20 00:24:28 UTC  

This is over two weeks later at this point haha

2018-06-20 00:25:14 UTC  

This is where it was at initially

2018-06-20 00:27:22 UTC  

Thanks for all the help btw

2018-06-20 00:27:52 UTC  

To all you who who provided feedback

2018-06-20 00:39:34 UTC  

<@&435155893747974155> can any of you fine people read a blood test chart? I don't fully understand it. And I have a couple of questions.
I get the results of my lead test back on Friday.
